Eric Trump absolutely roasted his brother, Donald Trump Jr., after the latter’s Twitter was hacked Wednesday.

Don Jr.’s account was hacked early Wednesday, with someone sending out a slew of utterly ridiculous and kind of racist tweets. In one of the tweets, the hacker said, “I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024.” The tweets have since been deleted, but they caused quite a stir when they were live.

“What was [Donald Trump Jr.’s] password? Don 2024?” Eric Trump posted at around 9:10 a.m., not long after Don Jr. regained access to his account.

“Are you hacked now too?!!” Shawn Farash replied to the younger Trump brother, along with a laughing-face emoji. “I’m sorry that happened to your brother, but today was the most fun day we’ve had on Twitter in a while,” another user responded.

By far the funniest of all the hacked tweets was one that read “I also fucked your girl btw [Logan Paul],” referencing a fairly old joke about Indian Bronson and Dillon Danis trolling Paul and his fiancée, Nina Agdal. (RELATED: Wait, Who TF Does This Guy Think He Is?)

The chaos was absolutely unhinged, but sadly short-lived. In a world where calamity and sudden shocks are becoming rapidly more normalized, it was nice to see something mostly comedic and totally unthreatening on Twitter.
